  Plum Sauce Recipe Cook Nights by Babs and Despinaki  

 

Plum Sauce

Having mastered the black cherry sauce previously with duck we decided to try another fruit. The fruit content was decided when Babs got a punnet of plums for 50p. We halved, stoned and sliced all of the plums, finely chopped garlic, a small onion and 2 red chillies. We combined 3 types of Balsamic Vinegar - garlic, chilli and raspberry and added a good glug of Port.

We then added the garlic, onion and chilli to some oil to release the flavour before adding the sliced plums, let the plums soften a bit before adding 3 tablespoons of Demerara sugar.

We let this simmer to allow the plums to break down until it became a thick, dark, glossy fruity sauce. Perfect for blacked duck or any game meat. One punnet of plums made enough sauce for 4-5 servings.
